Another EGort TO Advance the
SGuth's Interest.

The publishers of the Mdautdctors'
Record, Of Baltimore, in furtherance of
their efforts to aid in the upbuil ilding
of The material interests of the South,
have just issued, under the title Of
"The New South" book ofnearly
500 pages This book is devoted to an
expositin of the South. 1t gives an
accurate and comprehensive descrip-
ton of the Southern States, noting
each State separately and giving their
distinctive features and most salient
characteristics it tells of their resour-
ces and attractions, their present con-
dition and vast possibilities it treats
of topography, soil, climate, woods,
water courses and manufactures it
portrays the attractions to the capital
lists and those seeking homes in the
South it shows what the South is,
what she has already done in the de-
velopment OF her agricultural and in
dustrial intrests, and what she is likely
to become by reason OF her boundless
resources in soil, minerals, climate,
rainfall, timber, marble and geograph-
ical position, and the vast variety of
products possible to wise and varied
husbandry, and a grasp of her rich OPP
portunities for manufactures,
Throughout this country as we'll as
in Europe the South is attracting
great attention, and from every direc-
ton comes the demand for informa-
ton as to the resources and advan-
tages of this section. This book meets
this demand, and it will undoubtedly
be the means of accomplishing an al
most incaleulable amount of good foi
the South. 1t will, in fact be the
most remarkable advertisement OF the
South ever published, and we doubI
whether any country ever before il
the worlds history had its attractions
and advantages placed before so many
millions of readers by means of a sin
gle publication. This has been ac
complished by plan that is novel
and to the publishers very expensive
